Facts of the second playoff match against CSKA away

Forward Joe Blandisi scored SKA's 200th goal of the 2025/2026 KHL campaign. It took our team 70 games to reach this landmark.

Furthermore, this was also Blandisi's maiden Gagarin Cup playoff match. Fellow forward Nikita Dishkovsky also contributed with his maiden KHL playoff marker.

Across 69 games so far this season, forward Marat Khairullin has registered 50 (19+31) points. This is indeed his third campaign as a SKA player in which he has amassed a minimum of 50 points, following in the footsteps of Ilya Kovalchuk, Vadim Shipachyov, Evgeny Dadonov and Nikita Gusev.

Overall, defenseman Andrei Pedan has now picked up 162 penalty minutes in the KHL for SKA. 

40 of CSKA Moscow head coach Igor Nikitin's 500 league victories have been earned against our club. They have been achieved across 63 games as the boss of Avangard Omsk, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and CSKA. He is the only head coach to gain at least 40 wins against our organisation in the KHL.
